A case of secretory (juvenile) carcinoma of the breast is reported in a 31-year-old woman. Secretory carcinoma in adults is rare, only twenty-seven cases previously reported. It is known to have a more favourable prognosis than the conventional ductal carcinoma. The most adequate treatment appears to be a simple mastectomy with low axillary dissection.

The Drosophila Ejaculatory duct (ED) is a secretory tissue of the somatic male reproductive system. The ED is involved in the secretion of seminal fluid components and ED-specific antimicrobial peptides that aid in fertility and the female post-mating response. The ED is composed of secretory epithelial cells surrounded by a layer of innervated contractile muscle.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on increasing senescent vascular endothelial cells with aging, linking their dysfunction to cardiovascular disease.
- - A new gene signature called EndoSEN has been developed to identify these senescent cells, revealing that it is associated with certain genes and the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP).
- - The findings indicate that RNA accumulation plays a critical role in endothelial cell senescence and that targeting RNA sensing could be a promising strategy to combat vascular aging.

Although monotremes diverged from the therian mammal lineage approximately 187 million years ago, they retain various plesiomorphic and/or reptilian-like anatomical and physiological characteristics. This study examined the morphology of juvenile and adult female reproductive tracts across various stages of the presumptive oestrous cycle, collected opportunistically from cadaver specimens submitted to wildlife hospitals during the breeding season. In adult females, ovaries had a convoluted cortex with follicles protruding from the ovarian surface.

Article Synopsis
- - Secretory carcinoma is a rare, low-grade invasive breast cancer that primarily affects adults, with an average diagnosis age of 48, though it’s the most common type in children.
- - It typically appears as a painless lump, shows nonspecific imaging features, and under the microscope has distinct secretions and mild nuclear variations, with a significant number of cases linked to a specific gene fusion.
- - This cancer tends to progress slowly and has a better prognosis compared to other invasive breast cancers, especially in younger patients with smaller tumors and fewer lymph node metastases, with treatment largely mirroring that of other similar receptor status cancers.
